The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 is the point-and-shoot camera that many an enthusiast has dreamed of. It`s got an image sensor that`s the same size as the mirrorless Nikon J1 and a 3.6x zoom lens that opens up to f/1.8 on the wide end, all packed into a camera that can slide into your back pocket."

Benchmark Reviews recently tested MSI`s N680GTX Lightning video card. While it`s the fastest single-GPU card we`ve ever benchmarked, we weren`t able to fully explore its overclocking ability since the utility required to adjust the card`s voltages, MSI`s own Afterburner 2.2.3, wasn`t available. But now it is, so join us as we explore the outer levels of benchmarking performance."

When building a new system I think one of the hardest things to decide on is your case. It is something you are going to have to look at every day and something you may want to show off at a LAN party. With that said many people do not have the money for a flashy over-the-top computer case. Many people would rather have a functional case than one that looks cool. The Rosewill R5 Mid Tower Case comes in at about $70 and features 3 included fans, fan controller, USB 3.0 support and removable air filters. Is the case for your next build? Read on and find out!"

Gigabyte SkyVision Wireless HD Video Sync Review @ HardwareHeaven.com Today on our test bench we have the SkyVision WS100. With a name that doesn`t quite give away its purpose the SkyVision is a nifty little box of tricks that allows us to stream HD video from any HDMI ready device to another, wirelessly. Could this be the answer to many peoples cable jungles?"

* If you`re looking for a good Z77 motherboard to pair up with that shiny Ivy Bridge CPU but don`t want to break the bank, MSI`s Z77A-GD55 is well worth a look. Despite its modest $165 price-tag, the GD55 offers a rich feature-set, looks good, has a robust EFI and even makes overclocking easy for those who don`t care for the manual route."

ASUS has hit the Z77 playing field with amazing force and their P8Z77 WS looks to be an utterly amazing and very capable offering. 4 Way SLI server grade stability and features add up to one hell of an amazing looking board on paper. Can it perform as well as its specs claim?"

For ThinkPad enthusiasts the change of keyboards is the X230?s defining feature. There are already some nasty rage-reviews on Lenovo?s website. Personally, I like the keyboard, and I would certainly buy this laptop for my own personal use. But I?ll also admit that I did like the old one just a bit more. The rest of the laptop is simply excellent. Lenovo?s ThinkPads have always impressed me, but the X230 goes a step further. It?s the best ThinkPad I?ve ever used and, by extension, one of the best laptop?s I?ve experienced. Even the price is reasonable. Our review unit rings up at about $1000, depending on the weather and Lenovo?s web coupons."

Days ago benchmarks were shared from OpenBenchmarking.org that compared AHCI and IDE modes under Linux when it came to the resulting disk performance. There was a fair amount of interest generated out of that so some AHCI vs. IDE mode comparisons from a Serial ATA 3.0 SSD on an Ubuntu Linux host were benchmarked at Phoronix."

EVGA is one of the manufacturers that offers factory overclocked GeForce GTX 680 cards. The sample they sent us is from their Superclocked series, which marks EVGAs entry level in their league of overclocked cards. Amongst other things we`re going to check how much of an advantage the factory overclocking gives you."

We review the OCZ Fatal1ty 1000W PSU. The power supply is on the market for a little while now already and it one of the more popular models. It offers gold efficiency, a single 12V rail. The PSU itself is modular has good looks and something you can appreciate for those of you with a side panel window in their chassis. Being 1000W and with all the aforementioned features the PSU is priced in the 190 EUR range here in the Netherlands. To top it off, OCZ even gives this PSU a 5 year carry in warranty. Check out the review right here"

A Champion has emerged! The ASRock Fatal1ty Champion seeks to beat out all other Intel X79 Express contenders, clad in red and black armor and carrying a loadout of features that is sure to have other boards run and hide. Can the ASRock Fatal1ty X79 Champion live up to its claim?"

The AVEXIR 32GB C10 kit is rated at 1600MHz, which is not a stellar speed compared to other kits out there, but offers enough storage for many applications that require it like Adobe Premiere Pro, RAMdrives, multiple virtual machines. The modules also come with fancy blue LED effects, which are a delight if the case we are using has windowed side panels."

This case, to put it simply, rocks at cooling. There is a downside though - the stock fans are pretty loud. So while the AZZA Genesis 9000 does put up a good fight to the other cases (the exception being chipset temperatures) it`s being compared to it is also easily the loudest of the bunch. That`s not to say it`s going to make your ears bleed like the Vantec Tornados of yesteryear but it`s definitely not a silent case. Switching the fan mode to low speed (which also turns off the LED lighting) transforms the case into a quiet beast but temperatures are affected by this enough to take away most of its commanding lead on GPU and CPU temperatures. All in all a good showing by the Genesis 9000!"

DirectCU II on the GTX 680 allows for 20% more effective cooling while remaining 14dB quieter than stock solutions, while the increased dissipation keeps temps significantly lower at higher speeds and voltages; hence, more headroom for your GPU. Large video cards are very susceptible to microfracturing due to their large size and nature of install, but ASUS combats this in several ways. The GTX 680 DirectCU II TOP features a metal backplate covering the entire back of the circuit board to almost completely nullify any possible flex. The board, itself, uses a process for higher strength with less flexibility, as well as a dual bracing system to reinforce even further around the GPU area and VRM, which is most critical.///"

The Sony BDP-S590 is a good Blu-ray player, with built-in Wi-Fi, 3D support, and fast performance. It has a few minor video processing issues, and its on-player controls feel flimsy, keeping it from the top-tier. At $129.99, however, it`s a solid choice."
